Welldog’s AquaTracker systems are used to monitor aquifer water levels around CSG developments.

They are typically deployed to monitor multiple aquifers in a single well and can be retrieved during well life to service and upgrade sensors as required.

Besides AquaTracker, Welldog also has PressureTuner systems, which provide fluid level monitoring in production wells.

This can deliver autonomous control of artificial lift systems to maximise hydrocarbon production, while protecting pump assets and avoiding pressure shock to coal seams.

Both AquaTracker and PressureTuner are available in a variety of flexible and scalable system architectures allowing tailored solutions.

In addition to the CSG contracts, Welldog completed its first ResMonitor installations for conventional oil and gas applications, monitoring downhole pressure and temperature in the Cooper basin.

Additional systems are scheduled to be installed in coming months.

Welldog recently exported its gauge business to the US, where it has started installing high performance gauge systems in onshore shale gas and oil wells.
